The Murugappan family will return to Biloela after the new Labor government intervened in their case, allowing them to reunite with supporters in the regional Queensland town.

In a statement, Treasurer and interim Home Affairs Minister Jim Chalmers said he had used these powers to allow the family to live in Biloela on bridging visas."The effect of my intervention enables the family to return to Biloela, where they can reside lawfully in the community on bridging visas while they work towards the resolution of their immigration status, in accordance with Australian law," he said.

They were detained on Christmas Island in August 2019 after earlier detention on the mainland, and since then had been in a complex legal fight to seek refugee status.

What a great day for the community, family and all Australians

Morrison and his henchmen sure did know how to waste taxpayers money and upset a lot of people. No surprise that they lost their erection.

Wonder how much the LNP spent on this travesty. I’d like to see the numbers $$

Disgusting lack of respect for the judicial process. And wouldn’t you be livid if you were one of the Sri Lankans on the boat last weekend.

Imagine the party !!

So now they get back to work and school and pay some Tax it Win for all

It was that easy. ScottMorrisonMP and PeterDutton_MP, gfys.

This wonderful news allows them to stay in Australia until they determine their status under Australian law. But right now their return to the town that fought so hard for the family to stay is a sensible, pragmatic & empathetic resolution to the standoff since March 2018. 🥰🥰

I feel like we have been released from a dictatorship and humanity has returned. Maybe soon the international community may start asking us back to play.

They should sue the LNP. This could have been done so simply…

Just about time Labor government has a ❤️
